The Gemini GV-series single-axis servo drives and servo drive/controllers are available with 3 levels of control across 6 power ratings, offering power outputs from 0.6 to 18kVA and input power supply options of 1*120VAC to 1/3*240VAC. The Gemini GV servo drives accept accept industry standard ±10V torque/velocity commands, step and direction or CW/CCW position command signals and feature simplified configuration and tuning, plus digital notch filters to help eliminate mechanical resonance. The Gemini GV is easily configurable via RS232/485 using Parker's Motion Planner™ on a PC or Pocket Motion Planner™ on a Window's CE™-based palm PC. Tuning and configuration is made easy - it requires only the motor and some basic load information to permit the drive to determine baseline-tuning gains. These are simple parameter entries the user can complete with the help of the front-end software tools. Users also have the ability to override these parameters for special application requirements.

The Gemini GV6 is a compact, low-cost, digital servo drive/controller. In addition to all of the drive features of the Gemini GV, the GV6 incorporates basic motion control and programming capabilities, allowing solutions for many distributed control applications.

The Gemini GV6K is the most powerful addition to the Gemini servo family lineup. This full-feature, standalone servo drive/controller offers a complete motion control solution in one economical, compact package. The GV6K comes complete with the same features, connectivity and front-end software tools as the Gemini GV and Gemini GV6. In addition to offering many of the drive features of the Gemini GV and control features of the Gemini GV6, the GV6K incorporates the flexibility and control functionality of Parker's 6K Controller to allow highly advanced motion control and sequencing capabilities for unrivaled flexibility in many distributed-control applications. The GV6K is easily configured/programmed via RS232/485 using Parker's Windows based Motion Planner™ software package. The GV6K also offers connectivity to any ASCII-based serial device, including HMI panels and PLC ASCII modules. Products such as OPTO 22™ Snap I/O, DVT™ Vision Systems and AB™ SLC 5/05 PLC platforms can also be used for data chaining using the GV6K's Ethernet Client feature.
